Bethesda using a play on words like that actually gives me hope that it will be announced at Quakecon, like they're trying to surprise us.

While I still really hope for a QuakeCon announcement, if not, then I'm with SyltStryder and others. A Novemberish-announcement.

Not much more I don't think. West and Vampella will certainly draw a crowd, but they're not going to announce anything substantial. I think the key thing to consider is that Zenimax and id and Bethesda aren't just trying to make QuakeCon bigger, they want to make it more relevant. They want gamers and game journalists to get excited about it and they want to broaden the potential audience that might come to this thing. Previously, the public perception of QuakeCon was that it was a place people go to play Quake, and where id occasionally announces some cool stuff. Occasionally. If Bethesda and their partners make announcements there, then QuakeCon ceases to be the "Quake and Doom Show" and becomes something much larger, and broader, with a hell of a lot more reach.

I.E the Official TES V Speculation Thread. :laugh:

I would place a bet against a Quakecon announcement. Just don't see it happening.

Looking at the schedule, a few BGS people will be there talking, but the most I think we could reasonably hope for is a slip of the tongue implying that they're working on something new.

I expect QC to come and go with no major news of interest for this thread.

EDIT:

Also, I hope that they record/podcast the talks, because I love hearing how the BGS people think and work.

Novemberish?

I have two years before I go to college, and then I won't have much time to play TES V after those two years are up. So, a November 2010 announcement would likely mean we wouldn't get the game until somewhere between May 2012 and November 2012, based on past announcement-release date relations. Before August, I get some time to give TES V long gaming sessions. After August, and I must say goodbye to the long nights of playing video games nonstop, which means TES V will become a... a hobby and not the focus of my life for a short time like new, good games used to be.

By the way, what's so special about November?

Its just one of those silly announcement, reveal, release patterns for certain months, Seti. Nothing proven.

I have a response, but I'll wait for the next thread.

Okay then. Lets hope this post speeds things up a bit. By the way, I do see how some of these patterns are logical but if you think about it even more logically... Bethesda can do what ever they want. To a certain extent of course. I just do not see these patterns determining anything until the announcement.

Bethesda Gaming Studios has already said that they are working on a "secret project." Since this is BGS and not Bethesda Softworks, that means they're making a game. And since they just made Fallout 3, that game they're currently making is 99% likely to be TES V, .8% FO4, and .2% a new IP.

So yay, we can all be happy! ^_^
